On certain buses, the pressure switches on the hybrid drive system could fail. As a result, the bus could enter a reduced performance (limp) mode or there could be a loss of hybrid drive system power. Note: This is an expansion of Transport Canada Recall 2018-495
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.
New Flyer will notify owners by mail and request that you contact your Regional Product Support Manager. An Allison Transmission technician will inspect and replace the pressure switches. Certain buses also require an inspection of the valve body and internal passages of the pressure switch relay valve.
On certain buses, there may be increased friction in the centre axle brake caliper guide pin due to a manufacturing defect. If undetected, this could cause the breakage of the guide pin bolt, irregular brake pad wear, and brake pad contact with the surface of the wheel. This could result in reduced braking force, a loss of tire pressure to an inner tire on the dual-wheeled center axle and possibly reduced parking brake functionality, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Customers will be supplied with a repair kit and directions to recondition both centre axle brake calipers.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain buses, the sidewalls of the driveshaft's slip yoke were modified and may fracture and fatigue because they are too thin. This could result in failure of the driveshaft, which would cause loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be provided instructions to inspect and replace the modified slip yokes.
